/ How do you dry Skytec Argon gloves?!

This might sound a bit stupid, but i was wandering how everyone dries their Skytec Argon gloves? They're great gloves (as recommended on here) but it takes me about 3 days to get them dry after a day out, and thats on the Aga! Any recommendations? Cheers, George

yeah ive got a couple of pairs so it's not too bad. still, they seem to hold moisture in them FOREVER! I think im going to melt the rubber before they actually dry. Has anyone tried stuffing newspaper/ putting something inside to hold them open so the wet air can escape?

In reply to George_Surf: Yep tried that. Don't bother, just turn partially inside out (forget trying to turn the fingers inside out!) and leave on a radiator - they should dry pretty quickly.
I'm not a huge fan of these gloves, considering all the hype - they get too damp and therefore too cold for me.

In reply to wee jamie: I agree with you there, all hype,I use em for work in winter (construction) & they're ok for that, for winter I use purpose made winter mountaineering gloves, although I do think they'd be useful when plunging thru wet snow to get to the start of a route, then change over to "proper" gloves for the route itself.

In reply to George_Surf: I don't have these gloves but do use some similar sounding ones from the pouind shop for sea fishing and they take ages to dry too. I chuck a few packs of silica gel in them and it works a treat. You can buy packs of silica gel off ebay very cheaply, also peal rice or similar would work too.

Assume you mean that they take ages to dry unless you turn them inside out...
I know this isn't as easy as it seems, but bear with me here as to how I'm doing it!!

First, pull them inside out as much as you can, BUT LEAVE YOUR FINGERS IN THEM!!
Second, find a tent pole/knitting needle/anything pointy you can get your hands on, then (with a friend if possible, or make the pointy thing static), put it inside the glove and use it to 'push' the finger the rest of the way through. When you do this on them all they're totally inside out and dry a hell of a lot quicker. Same process in reverse to get them the right way round.

Fiddly, but it works a lot better than just leaving them to dry normally!!

I'll try the inside-out with skewer trick when I get home. I haven't made it out into the snow with them yet but they were excellent for the cold wet work of shifting dinghys out of the flooded North Berwick harbour today.

Which is a hell of a lot better than anywhere else if you order by post. I went Machine Mart for mine, but with every single site it seemed like postage was as much if not more than a pair of gloves anyway - for 4-6 quid, in store, without too much driving to find your nearest store, I think these gloves are probably the best value for money winter gloves going, and I'll be stopping by Arco the next time I'm passing and buying a few more pairs whilst they're going cheap - I notice they now have a "full coverage" waterproofing/rubbery bit too.

On a side note, surely it can't be too long til Skytec find out they're onto a winner here, and start bumping up the price of their gloves....??

In reply to George_Surf: got a pair of the normal ones and a pair of the fully waterproof ones. havent used either pair in anger yet. from looking at them the fully waterproof ones are a lot stiffer and will probably be tricker to do ropework in. i'll see how they go though.

I get them dry overnight, just leave them tips down on a warm radiator so the the cuff points up. As the insides heat, the damp air will rise from the glove. You have to make sure the fingers are straight and the air can get out.
